The “European Industrial Hemp Association” regards itself as an informal conjunction of hemp primary processing companies within the EU. As soon as two weeks after its foundation, almost all hemp primary processing companies have joined the association.

Aims of the EIHA are:

to establish a regular exchange of information between the member companies

to encourage the exchange of information between the national ministries

to promote EIHA as a contact partner for EU institutions and national ministries

to formulate a statement on the “end-of-life vehicle directive” and to subsequently practice national and EU – lobbying.
